Eyecatchers range (Taboe, Iguana, Geo, Accolade... series) The radiators included in this range are true works of art, genuine gems, developed with a keen eye for detail, painstakingly designed, engineered and developed into “strikingly inconspicuous” elements of charm, blending elegantly into any setting, traditional or contemporary minimalist... The latest addition to this range, successfully launched at the 2007 Milan Design Fair, is Heatwave, a wall-mounted heating “objet d’art” made of fair-faced polymer concrete and shaped as a baroque flower design. Its modular build-up allows a combination of up to 6 heating elements to make up a custom-sized, extraordinarily decorative radiator.

METROTILE EUROPE Lightweight steel roofing panels (“tile, shingle or shake-effect”) MetroBond® Compared to the traditional roofing ma- terials the look of which they strikingly recreate, Metrotile tilesheet panels provide lightweight strength and durability, fea- turing a number of undeniable benefits: weight-saving (just under 7kg/m²), they allow easy hidden dry-fix installation, while at the same time saving transport, storage space and reducing on-site labour. They are also UV, fire and weather resistant(even in the harshest weather conditions: heat, frost/thaw, wind lift), inhibit moss and algae growth and require hardly any maintenance. All Metrotile panels are formed from 55/45 aluzinc alloy coated high-grade steel with a 0,45 mm or 0,9 mm thickness - i.e. the 900 range for vandal proof strength -, covered with a 100% acrylic resin basecoat embed- ded with natural rock granules and a clear acrylic overglaze. Apart from a stone-coated surface finish, smooth prepainted versions are also available. Widely used in new-build roofing projects and roof refurbishment jobs alike, including reroofing, over-roof cover- ings, flat-to-pitch roof conversions..., Metrotile lightweight roofing panels allow architectural design freedom on all types of roof-build-up, from vertical cladding down to 15 or 10° pitch roofs, depending on the type of tile profile used. In addition to its classical MetroBond and MetroClassic tile profile range, Metrotile also offers the mediterranean-style MetroRoman panel, the shake and shingle profiles (MetroShake and MetroShingle), which both closely resemble these traditional wooden roofing materials without the downsides of splitting, warping and increased fire risk. New to the range are the large- size “5 tiles by 4” Multibond panels. The entire product portfolio comes in a broad standard colour swatch, with additional factory- approved colours available to order). Complementing the range is a vast array of over 100 accessories and ancillary items, custom-made and in perfectly matching finishes: trim tiles, ridges, bargeboards, flashings, hips and valleys, translucent tile panels, soil and vent tile adaptors, end MetroShake® caps...). The product range is backed by an unparallelled 30-year weatherproof warranty and a documented 40-year lifespan.
